Title:  Imaging Coherent Phonon Dynamics with Ultrafast Electron Microscopy

Abstract: Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) capabilities can be extended to the femtosecond (fs) timescale via coupling of a fs pulsed laser with an otherwise conventional TEM [1,2]. Here, I will describe the hardware components and the basics of operation of such an instrument, dubbed an ultrafast electron microscope (UEM). I will then share some examples of the types of measurements that can be done with UEM, focused especially on the direct nanometer-picosecond imaging of coherent phonon dynamics in semiconductors and 2D materials [3-6].
